The Mt Sopris Nordic Council is a
501c3 nonprofit organization.
All donations support our mission of providing an outstanding cross-country trail system for our community, free of charge, all winter long.
Spring Gulch was created by local skiers for local skiers, and we’re so grateful for all those who’ve made it possible.
What is "community-powered skiing"?
"What had begun only months before as a 'good idea' to a few individuals had materialized as a 'good thing' for the whole community."
- First MSNC Annual Report, 1987
As a "community-powered" ski area, Spring Gulch depends on the financial support of MSNC members. Thanks to skiers like you, 28-kilometers of beautiful cross-country ski trails are regularly groomed and open to the public, free of charge, all winter long. What a gift to our community!
Your support makes a difference. The donations of our members directly offset roughly 50% of our annual expenses - over $150,000 per year! - helping the MSNC enhance the quality and consistency of grooming available, maintain the trail system, and ensure the longterm financial health of the organization. As a result, our community gets to kick and glide happily around Spring Gulch, soaking in the timeless views with the reassurance that the trail system will be well-cared for, for our collective benefit, for many years to come.
As a 501c3 nonprofit, all donations to the Mt Sopris Nordic Council are fully tax deductible. Tax ID: 84-1037532.
We are happy to discuss options for planned giving, and welcome contributions from donor advised funds. It's a collective effort, and we're so glad you're in our corner!
